How has Madrid's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 4 California disclosures for Madrid, covering report years 2021–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 50 in 2021 to 54 in 2024 (+4 points). Site EUI moved from 14.6 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 13.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 8% decrease. Reported emissions went from 68 tCO₂e to 59 tCO₂e over the same span (down 14%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 54 mean?
ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: a score of 54 means the building performs better than about 54% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 54 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 21 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In California, 65% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.
Site energy-use intensity (EUI) is the energy a building uses on site in a year divided by its floor area, in thousand Btu per square foot — lower is more efficient. Madrid's 13.5 kBtu/ft² across 65,398 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (259 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 258,516 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Madrid to report its energy use?
Madrid reports under AB 802 (Public Resources Code §25402.10), the legal basis of California's Building Energy Benchmarking Program (statewide), which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record california:33618343:2024).
